Why Dig Through Ancient Ruins?

Body
There are numerous YouTube channels which show volunteers working alongside archaeologists in remote areas. They are all digging, scraping, brushing, and carefully handling their finds.

Widow, Widower and Wisdom

Body
If you are recently widowedor know of someone who is--you may find this article rather candid. I waited seventeen and a half years for God to bring to me the love of my life (and I was fifty years old), and after five and a half fantastic years, puff! She died!

Thinking Out Loud

Body
If you are counting down the days to Christmas and New Year festivities with dread, this is perfectly understandable. Your life has been turned upside down by the loss of your loved one, be it husband, wife, partner, or close family member or friend.
